Felice Brusasorzi or Brusasorci, pseudonym of Felice Riccio (Verona, 1539 – Verona, 1605) was an Italian painter. Felice was the son of Domenico Brusasorzi, from whom he inherited the profession of painter, like his sister Cecilia and brother Giambattista. Upon his father's death, Felice began to travel: he painted for several years in Florence (where his presence is noted in 1597) and upon his return to Verona he spread the mannerist style, which he had learned in Tuscany, but open to the influence of Parma and Lombard. Numerous of his works are preserved in the churches of Verona, imbued with Parma artistic lines, such as the Archangels of the Madonna in Glory, the Deposition and the Flagellation. His production of paintings on touchstone was notable, of which the painter, engraver and writer Carlo Ridolfi provides testimony. The painting depicting Saint Francis receiving the second rule from 1600 (preserved in the Capuchin church of Bolzano) was, according to some scholars, a precursor of some baroque trends. He had numerous disciples, including Sante Creara, Pasquale Ottino, Marcantonio Bassetti and Alessandro Turchi.
